Also an Emmy Award winner this year was Lin-Manuel Miranda, who shared with Tom Kitt an award for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics for their composition "Bigger (Go, Neil, Go)", which was performed as the opening number of the "67th Annual Tony Awards" telecast on CBS. Miranda is one of the few people to have nominated for a Primetime Emmy and a Daytime Emmy in the same category in the same year (he was nominated this year for a song he wrote for the PBS program "Sesame Street"). To see the musical number, performed by Neil Patrick Harris (and literally hundreds of Broadway stars, including, yes, Mike Tyson), look at the video below.
